Okay, what the heck is this?
I realized after I took a picture that it *can't* be plantago anything - the bottom of the leaves is right, the roots are right... but instead of the veins in the leaves going straight up and down, they kinda meander. Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking.
The shoe is a toddler size eight, it's Evangeline's. The leaf is bigger than my shoes (size eleven), and can in fact be used as a light sheet for a small child... say Evangeline sized. She's average for a two year old in her height.
You can see how the leaf is big enough to hold over your head as an umbrella.
Honestly, I don't normally see big-leafed plants like that, and what I do see are carefully potted plants that are tended, you wouldn't think they're natural to our climate up here! But this year I see these everywhere, and in untended gardens, too.
Long-ass roots, as I said.
Edit: The nice people in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
gardening are saying it's burdock, which seems right. If you can say otherwise, though, do tell me.
